Alley Art Festival will fill downtown Aurora with artists for its 14th year from noon to 5pm on Saturday, August 31. The free festival will bring more than 90 local artists to the area.
The popular, grassroots art festival will be staged on both pedestrian-friendly Water Street Mall and Downer Place between Stolp Avenue and Water Street. This year’s festival is sponsored by Superjumbo Records and Representative Barbara Hernandez.
The festival will feature artists and artisans from noon to 5 pm following the Aurora Farmers Market across the street at Water Street Square, which runs from 8 am to noon that morning.
The annual festival highlights locally made art, jewelry, pottery, handmade goods, and more.
Live music, belly dancing, children’s activities, and food vendors will all be part of the afternoon. Singer songwriter Matthew Garcia will perform at Mundy Park at noon. Mother and daughter duo The L’s will perform at 3pm.
